         Am
You can see it on her face
Her red eyes say she's not safe
                 G
How should she know what it means
       Em
She is only just a teen
           Am
Under her duvet's where she hides
To block the screaming late at night
              G 
She can't remember life before
          Em
Mama and Daddy went to war

Chorus:
C
All little girls are full of confusion
Em
Cry all you want cause you're only human
 Am
Was all the love just an illusion?
 G
Daddy's not coming home
 C
Mama's asleep and she smells of whiskey
  Em
Promise that won't be you when you're 50
  Am                             G
Cry before the guilty clap your wings
                F    G
Cause all your heroes
              C
Are skin and bones

Packed the small bag of things she loves
Deep inside she blames herself
She has nowhere else to go
But that sounds better than what she knows
And as she steps into the dark
Dirty hair and heavy heart
Cold, cold air inside her lungs
Catch a snowflake on her tongue

Chorus

    Dm
And as I heard you shut the door
        F
Went through the window and I saw
     C                                 G
The footsteps of my big sister in the snow
        Dm
Since then not a single day has passed
      F
Where I don't say your name and ask
  C                   G
Where, where did you go?
